Enjoy Life’s Simple Pleasures in Old West Style!

Get a taste of the real West at Running-R Ranch in the heart of Texas Hill Country. You’ll find an intimacy here that’s intentional. The folks at the ranch want you to “come as a guest and leave as a friend.” Horseback riding is their specialty: breathtaking rides take you across more than 40 miles of trails in the 5,500-acre Hill Country State Natural Area. After your ride, take a dip in the pool, hunt for fossils or visit the Alamo. You’ll be treated to two hearty meals a day and modern, rustic-themed cabins with wooden furniture and decks with unbeatable, panoramic views.

Dude Ranch

Like any good dude ranch, life here is all about horses-but it's also all about you. Running-R will expertly hand pick one of 35 horses to fit your riding experience and preferences. Guests typically ride two hours per day, but can ride up to five!

Family

Enjoy family time away from city distractions. You'll wake up to a hearty breakfast, take a morning ride, and return hungry for a delicious lunch served buffet style. Spend the afternoon by the pool, hiking the property or visiting area attractions.

Nature

You won't get stuck in traffic here; in fact, you won't even hear or see it. Explore the picture-perfect landscape on horseback, mountain bike or foot. Hike through wildflowers in the spring, watch the birds and enjoy nights beneath a star lit sky.

Cabins And Cottages

These western style cabins are furnished with cedar post furniture and woven rugs. Kick back on the front porch in the evening and watch the horses graze and the hummingbirds hover. Cabins sleep two to six people-rent a few for larger parties!

Guesthouse

These houses fit into their surroundings with wood floors, Indian throw rugs and simple exteriors. They also have modern amenities like heat, air conditioning, towels and linens for your convenience and comfort.
